'Gay Marriage' issue is same as 'Inter-Racial Marriage' issue.
More people have been opressed by, or died at the hands of christians than the Nazi Swastika or the Rebel Flag put together. Essentially all acts of social bigotry and ideas of 'self-supremacy' were done by psycotic religious zealots. Inquisitions with witch-burnings were held by chauvinist christian men who didn't want their women to have power, the Native Americans were killed because they didn't worship the same God as the 'civilized white folk' and black people were made slaves by CHRISTIANS. It was Conservative Christians in the 50's who thought blacks were filthy and didn't want to de-segregate the public schools or let inter-racial couples marry either.
And I know alot of you out there say: "I'm not racist, I love black people" but at the same time you also say "I hate homosexuals, they're dirty unclean creatures not fit to walk the earth" well guess what; Conservative Christians thought the same thing about black people at one time. And also to you black people that are homophobes who say "Its wrong, it goes against God" think about how the christians and KKK thought about YOU before you say that, because in a sense you're being just like those who opressed YOU. How do some of you feel about the Iraq War? I've heard a couple folks say "Nuke them towel heads, muslims suck. Yay, Christian America!"
How many cults form every year that are based on christianity? I consider the KKK to be a cult, they claim to be christian, they say the bible supports slavery and hate crimes. Aryan Nation? They're a cult too, they worship Adolf Hitler, they keep saying "We hate the jews, they killed Jesus!" How much different are christian cults here from the Alqueda's we're fighting over there? Think about it.
The fact is that NO ONE can say they are perfect. No one; black, white, not even myself can honestly say "I'm not prejudice." Cuz if yer not prejudice against one thing, yer still prejudice against something else: Whether it be jews, iraquis, gays, poor people, rich people.
EVERYONE at some point has a prejudiced thought.
Look at me for instance, I'm prejudiced against churchies!
